Happy April!!! I’m excited to be back with you this month after playing with the Attic Boutique Suite from Stampin’ Up! I love how being a Design Team member challenges me to try new things and work with products that I might otherwise not play with! Who knew I would fall in love with designer series paper that first made me go “eh, it’s okay” when I first saw it?! Maybe another way we can all find inspiration is by challenging ourselves to play with supplies that we might otherwise just walk by. Who knows, you may just fall in love! 😀

I don’t know about you, but when Spring is in the air I definitely get the urge to do a little Spring cleaning to spruce up the house. For my first project I decided to decorate my home for Spring with this Altered CD Door Hanging! By now you know that I love doing a bit of “upcycling.” I come across used CD”s in my day-to-day work and also receive them in junk mail. Instead of throwing them out when I don”t need them, I decided there had to be something I could do with them. This door hanging is the first idea I came up with! The possibilities are endless with this project – you can decorate it however you would like (with a name, initials, messages…go crazy!!!!).

Of course, online casino I couldn’t stop at just a door sign! I had to figure out how I could combine more than one CD into a project. I came up with this Altered CD Mini Book that uses 4 upcycled CDs with the Attic Boutique Side Notes and Designer Series Paper. I added some vintage photos and inspiring quotes from women. Once again, the possibilities are endless!

Here is a picture of the inside of the mini book…

For my next project I decided to do a tri-fold card. I like cards atoledo that fold in non-traditional ways. Here I incorporated stamped images from the Rue De Fleur stamp set with casino online the Attic Boutique Designer Series Paper. The stamp set is designed to coordinate beautifully with the other Attic Boutique Best UK Casinos Suite items.

Last, but http://dicters.net not least, I decided that the card needed a little gift box blackjack to go with it! I used the same stamp set and designer series paper with the Fancy Favor die and came up with this:

It has been a pleasure being a part of this Design Team and I am looking forward to continuing my journey with Papercrafter”s Library as a Designer/Educator! Thank you for all of your encouragement and your comments – I really appreciate it!

Hi everyone! It’s great to be sharing some more projects with you. As I’m preparing this post, the English sun is streaming through my window and I can see daffodils and snowdrops everywhere! It’s a beautiful and inspiring time of year and I hope these 3 projects bring you a little creative inspiration too!

You may well be wondering what this is! It’s a unique Notebook Necklace. None the wiser? If I give you the dimensions; 1 1/4″ x 2″ you’ll see it’s really tiny.

Maybe this second picture will give you a better idea. It has little pages on the inside and each is perforated at the top so you can tear away your little note if you wanted to give your phone number to someone (for example). It’s useful wearable art and its really simple. I’ve re-purposed a tag die & you won’t believe how quick and easy it is to make! You can make your chain much more interesting- perhaps by adding some beads onto a fabric chain- but I’ve kept it simple so you can see the idea. My model for the necklace wanted to remain anonymous!! I’ve used some of the packaging from the Pink Paislee Vintage Vogue Ephemera die cuts. It’s really sturdy and makes the perfect front cover. To decorate, I’ve done some stamping, used some tiny pieces of Vintage vogue papers and given a ‘linen effect’ to the whole thing using Mod Podge (a sealant/glue). They are perfect for little gifts and unfortunately you’ll not be able to stop at just making one!

My overall theme this month is ‘using up the little leftovers’. We all end up with bits at the end of our projects, and apart from using a whole page for the base of the Scrapbook layout, the rest of the projects all use very small amounts of patterned papers & supplies.

This next project is a card in the style of Bargello patterns (often found on quilts)- I was equally inspired by watching the volume bars on my music equipment. Inspiration can come from absolutely everywhere! This is a really speedy make and is very inexpensive to create. It would make the perfect accompaniment to the Notebook Necklace!

My final project is a scrapbook page. This is another ‘clustered’ type of design and it also goes to show that sometimes you can create something- leave it for a while and then decide you can improve on it. It is a 12×12 page but maybe in hindsight I would probably chop the left hand section off this page and make it into a 8 1/2″ x 11″ page. What do you think? Should I leave it as it is?!!

Here’s a close-up so you can see the details better. The ‘happy’ is curved to make a more dimensional embellishment. Handouts for all these project are available for Paper Crafters Library members. Check out all the many benefits of becoming a member here.

Well, I’m done here. Hope you enjoyed this week’s post. Please feel free to pop by my blog and say Hi! There are lots more projects just like these. I’ll be back next month with lots of my favourite technique; stamping!! xx

Hi there everyone! It’s so great to be back this month sharing some more wonderful projects with you. For my first project I have this adorable decorated box all tied up with a button and bow! You wont believe how simple and fast this project is to put together. There is a PDF with instructions and a video in the members area on how to create such sweet gift packaging.

For my second project I decided to decorated a large clothes pin. These clothes pins can be found at your local craft store and they make displaying your works of art so much fun! A few of these around your work space and you are never short for inspiration. A PDF with instructions and a video on this project are available in the member’s area.

Who doesn’t love getting a box of chocolates? For my third and final project this month I show you how to create this decorated nugget tin with wrapped chocolates. School secretaries, church staff, and teachers alike all rave over this little tin. Come find out how its made with PDF instructions and a video in the member’s area.

I hope you have been inspired to make your own creations! Have fun creating and I will see you here next month. For a look at some of my other projects just visit my blog at: http://lilsweetpeasplace.blogspot.com/

Wow! It’s hard to believe that it is already my second month on the Design Team! Time is flying by!!!! Spring is definitely in the air, or at least in my mind right now, so I decided I needed to play with flowers! The Blossom Punch by Stampin’ Up! and the coordinating Mixed Bunch stamp set provided the perfect inspiration for the projects I designed for you this month.

When Spring is in the air I begin to think about cleaning out my closets and getting rid of clothes that are old or too worn. As I looked in my closet this year, an old pair of jeans stared straight at me and I decided to do a bit of recycling! I created this mini book with a skewer binding to hold my thoughts and dreams and the old back pocket from my jeans makes the perfect holder for the mini book! If you are a Paper Crafter’s Library member and want to find the detailed instructions and videos on how I created the mini book and pocket just head on over to the Video Library.

Once I started punching out flowers with the Blossom Punch, I couldn’t stop! I punched and punched and punched the Everyday Enchantment Designer Series Paper from Sale-a-Bration. All of those colors and patterns were the perfect way to bring Spring into my home, so I decided to online casinos create a wreath.

The Everyday Enchantment brads and ribbon (Stampin’ Up!) coordinated perfectly and some unbleached muslin provided the perfect online pokies backdrop for all of the colors of the wreath. I even snuck in some Pear Pizzazz pleated satin ribbon! Members can find complete instructions and a video for the wreath in the Video http://www.phpaide.com/?langue=fr&id=11 Library!

I have to confess, the Blossom Punch may have turned online casinos me into a punch addict! I just couldn’t stop punching online slots those gorgeous flowers!!!! So I looked around the craft room to see what else I could punch and a pile of kraft-colored tissue paper caught my eye.

At first I tried to punch through just one layer of tissue paper and that was a bit challenging. But once I figured out that I would have much better success if I folded the tissue paper and punched through multiple layers, I was good to go! Here is where all of the punched tissue paper flowers ended up…

For my final project I went back to the basics and decided to make a simple card. Punches are a fun way to play around with paper piecing. To create the flower on this card, I punched the flower from multiple styles of paper and then began to cut and glue the pieces together. You can find a pdf with detailed directions in the Members Area of the Paper Crafter”s Library.

To see some of my other projects and free videos, just hop on over to my blog! I am really enjoying sharing these projects with you and appreciate all of your comments! It is wonderful being a part of such a supportive and creative community! See you next month!!!!

Hello there! I’m so happy to be here as a design team member. I hope you are inspired by the projects I’ve made for you.

My first project is a window card featuring the die cuts from the Snow Day collection from Pink Paislee. These snowmen icons I thought were so cute, that I had to use them. Making a window card is fun and easy, I hope you give it a try.

My next project is a 12×12 scrapbook layout that highlights the Sweet Tooth collection from Bo Bunny. I had the perfect photos to go with this collection, pictures of my daughter when we baked gingerbread cookies for the first time. I was able to stamp and add paint to this layout, in addition to my favorite embellishments – twine and buttons.

My third project was a 4×6 recipe book. This is such a simple project when using the journaling cards already sized on the Sweet Tooth designer paper. This book could make a nice gift too.

My final project is another card featuring those darling snowmen again. These snowmen are dimensional accents, which I love. They had some shimmer in them as well as dimension. With a bit of stamping and sponging, this card came together quite quickly. It was fun making a snowy background scene for these snowmen.

Hi everyone!!! I am so excited to be creating my first blog post for you as a new Design Team member!!!! I hope the projects I’ve created for you spark your creativity and inspire you to try something new! I decided to bring some spring to the winter here in Colorado by playing with the new Twitterpated Suite from Stampin’ Up! I love the floral images and the bright colors!

For my first project I created this Twitterpated Mini Book combining the Twitterpated designer series paper with the new Adorning Accents edgelits! I did a bit of “up cycling” by using the paperboard that comes as the backing for the designer series paper to make the pages of this book more sturdy. You can add photos, journaling, mini messages and more to your pages.

My final Sjekk ut om ditt spillenettsted har Android Casino . project for you is a set of small tile magnets using the Twitterpated designer series paper, Twitterpated buttons and large adhesive pearls from Stampin’ Up! These magnets make a quick online casinos and easy gift to give or to keep! If you decide to give them as a gift, an altered tin would make a great gift box!

Welcome to regular Freebie Friday Feature. Each Friday on the Paper Crafter’s Library Blog we spotlight a product that we’ve used and love, we show you some project ideas using that product (including a free video tutorial for one of the projects), and then, we do a give-away.

This week we’re spotlighting a fun collection by My Mind’s Eye called “Love Me”. It comes with 9 sheets of double-sided cardstock pper and 1 sheet of perforated elements. Among the many things I love about this collection is that along with the traditional reds and pinks of Valentine’s – it adds in an unexpected pop of color – the light blue. This is something that they do with many of their collections – throwing in one of more unexpected colors – and I LOVE IT! In this collection you’ll also see a number of trendy elements incorporated into the patterns – things like doilies, banners, vintage ads, bingo style, text, notebook paper etc.

For our free video we’re going to show you how to make this cute little “Be Mine” Valentine’s Treat Pouch created using paper from the Love Me collection.

Isn’t this box adorable? It stands about 4″ high and at it’s widest it’s approximately 2″ – giving you lots of room to fill it with treats. I actually have it filled with the Lindt Chocolate Balls and I think it ended up fitting somewhere between 6 to 8 of them (can’t remember because I may have eaten a couple along the way LOL).

The box was decorated with paper and elements from the Pink Paislee Snow Day collection – one of my absolute fave’s! I love it because you can use it for winter-themed projects, or as shown here, for Valentine’s themed projects (this one will probably go to my sweetie one I top up the chocolates). You’ll be seeing more using this collection since we included it in the box of goodies we’re sending to our DT members. The box template is an original design.

This video tutorial, pdf handout and exclusive template were uploaded to the Paper Crafter’s Library for members (that’s why we keep tellin’ ya – there are tons of benefits to being a member!).
